SRI LANKA – An Ideal Winter Sun destination, offering a tropical alternative to those cold, dark days in the northern hemisphere. Sri Lanka is a wonderful mixture of energetic urban life, long stretches of sleepy white-sanded beaches, ancient temples, dramatic scenery and delicious food. Rich in culture, the island is covered in religious and historically significant sites. For culture lovers the temples of the Anuradhapura are a must. A Buddhist pilgrimage site, the ancient city has wonderful stupas and temples.

KANDY VIEW POINT
Visiting Sri Lanka’s second largest city, Kandy and not exploring Kandy viewpoint will be a major miss. Kandy view point is regarded as the highest point in the city from where one can appreciate Kandy lake as if just below their feet and also the Dalada Maligawa Temple.

SACRED CITY OF KANDY
Lying amidst the hills, Kandy is the last capital of the ancient kings of Sri Lanka. While being the second largest city in Sri Lanka, it is also famous for its immense beauty. Kandy mesmerizes every visitor. Sigiriya (Ravana’s palace) & Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple is named as one of the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites in the country.

Bentota is a resort town on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast.
Being home to a pristine beach fringed in coconut palms and a region surrounded by azure waters, Bentota is certainly an amazing destination to visit, especially for those water sports enthusiasts out there.
Apart from that there are other places like Kosgoda turtle hatchery which is one of the oldest turtle conservation projects in Sri Lanka.

COLOMBO- JUDICIAL CAPITAL

From the warm hospitality to the ever-welcoming people, from the temples to the charming weather, from the blessed nature to the urban parks and beaches. Colombo will treat you to the essence of the country to Sri Lanka. The Pettah Floating Market is a landmark in Colombo, and it is a fun place. Here, you can have
some more special things over the water. When you are ready for the Floating Market do not miss out on your camera. It will be more useful to have memories there.
